Areas We Cover
Packaged Waste Containers and Recycling
Packaged waste refers to waste materials that are stored and transported in containers such as:
- Drums
- IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers)
- Waste safes
- Boxes
- Pallets
Packaged waste can be hazardous or non-hazardous, depending on its chemical and physical properties. It is most commonly prevalent in the manufacturing, automotive, construction, laboratories, healthcare, and facilities management industries.
Hazardous packaged waste is waste that presents a risk to human health or the environment due to being toxic, flammable, corrosive, reactive, or environmentally harmful.
Common examples include:
- Chemicals and solvents
- Paints, varnishes, and adhesives
- Oils and lubricants
- Acids and alkalis
- Pesticides and agrochemicals
- Contaminated packaging
- Batteries and electrical waste
- Clinical and laboratory waste
If you are unsure whether your packaged waste is hazardous, we can arrange chemist services that can assess, classify, and advise on correct handling and disposal, alongside comprehensive laboratory analysis. Simply get in touch with us.
If you need to store large quantities or drums of hazardous liquids or chemicals, then you need to use UN-approved containers such as closed top waste drums and IBCs.

Packaged Waste FAQs
Does hazardous packaged waste require a consignment note?
Yes. All hazardous packaged waste must be accompanied by a hazardous waste consignment note, which tracks the waste from production to final disposal. We manage all documentation on your behalf to ensure full compliance.
How long do I need to keep a hazardous waste consignment note?
Your consignment notes for hazardous waste should be kept for a minimum of three years in order to show that you have met your legal duty of care in terms of environmental compliance.
How is packaged waste collected?
All packaged waste is collected either by us or by trusted third-party licensed waste carriers and delivered to permitted treatment, recovery, or disposal facilities. We work only with approved partners across the UK.
What kind of waste can I store in an IBC?
IBCs are commonly used to hold hazardous waste, such as chemical products, biowaste, agricultural waste, paints, adhesives and oils.
What hazardous waste can go into a drum?
Drums can be used for aerosols, liquid waste (such as paints and oils) and solid waste (such as batteries and contaminated rags).
Can you arrange a chemist service?
Absolutely. We work with a range of trusted chemists nationwide and can assist in arranging chemist services to support with waste identification and classification. Assessments and disposal recommendations are also included.
